DAMNIT!!!!!!!!

 

It's not here. I don't know if it did all day though since I was cooped up inside the office. I hope the 8s made it out without war wounds...

 

I'm actually in SA. and since it seems i'm the only 8 in SA(according to the boards) I guess i'm the only one getting hit. I spotted at least one dent on the hood.


WTF?!?!?!? I live in ******* San Antonio. It hailed for a good 25 minutes. I'm so mad right now.

 

It's the luck of the '8. I think it's hitting us all now.

 

Slims needs to hurry up and sell his car before the curse spreads further.

-hS

 

Lol...

I just got a call from Alison. She lives in SA and says her civic got hit pretty hard.

 

I counted 26 dents.

 

think i got ya' beat on that one, this is from last year, over 9 grand worth, I cried so hard I puked (and I'm not ashamed of that either lol)

holy ****. did they fix your car up pretty good? i've seen your car but didn't really give is a close up look. who did you have fix it?

 

that was saturday.

who knows now.

 

well originally I had Beasley's body shop do it, while the bodywork was ok, the paint was horrific. The place that is doing mine now is called Sutherland Auto body on S. Lamar. As it turns out the owner (Joe Sutherland) is good friends with the folks who part own the location of my best friend's car audio shop, so they all know each other so it's almost like taking it to a family member. I've been very impressed with their customer service and I know from speaking to other people that they do excellent work.

 

any many more all over the car.

 

ugh lame

 

Muya.. many years ago when we had a Ford escort (hey it was all we could afford at the time) we had a hail storm in El Paso of all places... The car was totalled by the insurance company..

That was a crappy escort and not an 8 but I would get an estimate done soon and make a claim.

I hope it works out for you...

EDIT: Geezz, they just talked about the hail there on the local news and show some pictures of hail that got collected... sizes looked like the size of a quarter to half-dollar..

 

OUCH. Sorry to hear about your hail experience. Depending on how deep the dents are, you might want to try a paintless dent removal place. When the big hail storm hit College Station about 8 years ago, I had lots of friends that went that route. Much cheaper and you would never know that their car had been hit.

I personally have used a paintless place to remove a rather large dent that a friend of mine put in the top of the tailgate of my truck with his foot/ankle (trying to jump over it). They did a great job. You could not even tell that there was ever a dent and I drove it for a couple more years after that before I traded for the 8 with no paint chipping, etc.

 

Yea it hailed good here, the one day my car isn't sitting in my garage! I took it to the dealer earlier that day to get the starter/plugs ect., but they put it inside the garage for me

 

there's a place here in town called Dentworks that does amazing stuff, their website is here:

http://www.dentworks.com/

you should check out the pics on their site, some of the stuff they repaired even went beyond standard hail dings so if you're struggling to find a place they might be worth the drive for you

 

Got super lucky...apparantly the storm hit central texas and then hit SA ....I was in SA when it hit central then on my weekly weekend drive to Central missed the storm completely and the 8's safe =) ...still got a crack in the window from the last hailstorm though

 

thanks. what about the shop you went to? the second one?

 

muya, what part of SA were you at when you got nailed? I'm a new San Antonian and was curious....

 

The bodyshop I have my car at right now is called Sutherland AutoBody. They are located on S. Lamar across the highway from Burger Center etc. If you give them a call at 892-7500, ask for Joe and tell them Randall the guy with the yellow Rx8 sent ya'. They have a website too at http://www.sutherlandautobody.com, I'd recommend them over any other shop in town hands down.

 

1604 and 90

After I get my car fixed we should all get together.

 

Thanks. I'll try to check them out this weekend.

 

My car is at Sutherlands right now. They took care of me. And the lady at enterprise was pretty hot.

 

haha, was her name Janine? I was all like "....." when she was talking to me lol
